100% accurate, but still missing the mark
As with others, I can't let the dupes who listened to these hucksters and actually bought houses they couldn't afford under credit terms that were disasters in the making off the financial hook. Stupidity has consequences! I've worked too damn hard all my life, educating myself, living on a budget, not spending what I don't have, doing without those nice shiny new cars and plasma screen TVs and oh, so hip electronic gadgetry, not because I didn't want those things...but because I couldn't afford them!
So pardon me if I sit here in my modest but comfortable home, partially paid for with a sensible 6.5%, 30-year fixed rate mortage (after a reasonable down payment to give myself some equity), and politely tell the morons who put themselves and their families at risk by doing something incredibly stupid and the government nitwits who want to save them from their own ignorance to keep your greedy hands out of my well-worn pockets!
